Nov 14 @ The Edina Classic

The Edina Classic
Edina High School
14 November 2015

You are making history:  This is our first tournament in 30+ years, and the first time there has been a combined Speech and Debate tournament in Minnesota since the 1990s.

Coach-in-Charge *
Hayley Pierce-Ramsdell
Tim Greenfield
* If you are an Edina competitor, you should go to these two people for any questions during the day.  Elizabeth and Andy will be busy running the tournament.

Check-in on tournament day
Everybody who is competing -- both speech and debate -- needs to check in with Hayley (and only Hayley) in room 324 by 7:30AM. She will have a clipboard and a copy of our roster.  If you are not checked in by 7:30 we are dropping you from the tournament. Once you've checked in, you need to take your materials to the common space and prep like we do at any other tournament. 

Notes

1. Nobody leaves until the building is cleaned.  As soon as you are done debating/speaking, you need to report to room 324 to be assigned clean-up jobs.  With a team our size, we should be able to having building more or less done by the time awards begin. 
2. We expect you to attend awards.  
3. Do we want to win things? Absolutely!  But we also take the extra steps expected of hosts. For example, if you see people looking for rooms, you need to take time to graciously help our guests.  ("Never trashy, always classy.") We also need you to look out for well-being of our classrooms.
4. We will post the full roster soon, but you should expect to be debating or speaking.
5. I need 6-8 volunteers to help with setup on Friday night.  We'll start at 4 and finish when we have the building ready for competition.  We'll provide dinner when we're done.  BUT...I only want helpers who ask, "What can I do next?"  
Student volunteers sign up here. 

6. Then I need Adi, Arvind, Connie, Leah, and Samantha to be my extra-help helpers on Saturday, making one final sweep of building to make sure everything is clean.
